Think when you drink?

Most people are now known that mild to moderate consumption of red wine reduces the risk of heart disease. This article will examine the risks and benefits of drinking wine and alcohol, a topic which I believe is increasingly important that patients see in the clinic, particularly those with current challenges in the health sector.

You heard of the now ironic discovery in the 70s, this is called "French paradox", which has been established that although manyFrench people smoke cigarettes and eat a diet rich in saturated fats such as butter, yet so often from cardiovascular disease than those in many other countries die half. Years of research with more than 750,000 men and women showed that drinking 1-2 glasses of red wine a day reduces the risk of heart disease, strokes and cardiovascular deaths up to 30-40 percent. Much research has since been found, rather, thatdrinkers reasonable (easy to moderate) have a tendency towards a healthy lifestyle in general, you get much sleep, and make the right choice of diet, exercise little 'smoke, if at all regularly. They tend to have healthy life, without social stress, take fewer risks with their health and have a "happy heart" in general, both emotionally and physically. Scientists used to attribute the French wine for heart health just a preference for red, but it seems there is still much more toThe French paradox is not just wine, it is likely that their Mediterranean diet high in fish, fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil, herbs, garlic and red wine with a normal low-key start-up and its relaxed style Mediterranean life seem to be the main stress on health care.

Male patients in particular, tell me "but I thought that drinking wine should be good for your heart?" I think many guysFrench in particular anomaly has become a scientifically valid and confirmed reason to drink every day, because "my doctor told me that red wine is good for me." Of course most people want to hear that drinking red wine per day seems to be a moderate amount of a benefit for heart disease and may even prolong their life, but there is more here than meets the eye. This to me is a bit 'as the strange idea that somehow the chocolate to eat every daygood for your body. Tell me honestly, how many people actually have a glass of red wine and one or two squares of dark chocolate every day? I call it self-imposed unnecessary temptations on the basis of false assumptions and clever marketing.

Alcohol is a double-edged sword, and can be a poison and a medicine, the difference between his Jekyll and Hyde nature in only one – the dose. Red wine may actually have some health benefits, but in my opinion, alcoholmust be carefully addressed as a daily healthy diet in addition to person. Alcohol is the only drink I know from personal experience that only "if it is a bit 'too' in the end it feels like death warmed literally awakening, and how it can all be good for your health? Each beverage a fine line between sentiment and consumer goods for a moment you feel as if I were to die the next day, one wonders about all the health benefits. AndI bet there are many players are there to share with wine and had the unpleasant experience of waking up from hell headache or a belly that makes them for the bowl in the early morning, only thoughts boiled eggs for breakfast. This does not mean I do not like to live a better Pinot event – after all you have to leave your hair sometimes. But on or have more units of wine, beer or liquor on a newspaper would be aI feel tired and washed in a matter of weeks. It's not like I like the feeling.

Whenever a new patient comes into my clinic and starts talking about their health problems, are interested in finding out whether a lifestyle and nutritional support are potentially their problems, and alcohol is often a topic of heated debate. It 's amazing how many people I convinced him to stop drinking during the week and drink only on weekends. Most are surprisedhow quickly their digestive problems, patterns of fatigue, skin irritation and many other health problems just seem to disappear quickly. Your health awareness begins to grow, as we begin to see their relatives and friends in a different light. Your self-esteem rises and healthier choices are made in terms of diet and lifestyle. Weight loss occurs, their energy and well-being increases. I call this the "spiral" of health. Once you start to climb this ladderit is easier to resist the temptation of some friends who hang around with (read drinking buddies) or go up the stairs, and do without or to help and get off the ladder and feel comfortable on the lower rungs with their colleagues others have golf, play, shoot or fish, etc. It 'great to see a few men in the clinic to become true advocates healthy lifestyles in the family and society, these are the guys from nowinspire their sons, fathers, brothers and male friends to make changes to reduce their health even drink, eat healthy and exercise regularly. Sometimes it is unfortunately a heart attack, a car accident or even a loss of licenses aware that such a thing as a "health scale". If you know of?

It 'also surprising because the average person drinks regularly, and until you sit, that they are drawnback and take stock of their drinking habits that reality sinks in – they built a real need for him. If you're one of those who looks at his watch and thinking: 5.00 Clock, Let's have a drink "on a regular basis? New Zealand, as in any other country, as if you have not noticed a real problem with alcohol. But I I do not think that alcohol is the real problem here is the consumer, with blissfully unaware why should drinkfrequent and strong. , Emotional, psychological or physical base of trees often drink, and many will tell you that they feel good or alcohol loosens them. The truth is that alcohol is the body creates a vicious circle of desire, addiction and even more stress, stressed, and not until this cycle for several months that you can really understand what I mean break. I know he was a heavy drinker myself in my twenties, that was a joke as many boys his raceI give their twenties, thirties and even in the sixties.
Red Wine and Heart: the facts

Although a glass of red wine per day may be good for your heart, drink more than that seems to favor the accumulation of plaque in blood vessels, suggest the results of a study of over 4000 older adults. Dr. Mukamal, a biostatistician at the University of Washington in Seattle, used data from the Cardiovascular Health Study, for further evaluation of thisAssociations. The new findings are reported in the medical journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. (December 2003)

All subjects were examined with ultrasound to look for atherosclerosis (a buildup of plaque and calcium found in arteries) in the blood vessels of the neck. Among people without heart disease or problems, had those, 0,559 were drinking alcoholic beverages one hour per week less atherosclerosis, and the largest amount of damage to arteriesfound in people who consumed 14 or more drinks per week. And those who smoke and drink heavily? You guessed it, big health problems. For people with heart disease found, consumed 7-13 drinks per week was associated with less atherosclerosis not to drink. Again, however, showed the subjects who drank 14 or more drinks per week, atherosclerosis. So we see what is around a maximum of two glasses of red wine per day. Interestingly,this study never looked at those who never or rarely consumed alcohol.
Is red wine really that good?

Findings in the Journal of American Association of Medicine in 2001, and the public should only caution researchers to review existing data and the popular notion that moderate alcohol consumption on health is good for the general. Recent research suggests that many "heart tick in red wine" methodological studiesA defect is compared with the general non-drinkers of alcohol, but why not vary between those who never drank alcohol or drinking and health for the finish. For example, investigators questioned more than 22,000 men aged 40-69 in Japan, the frequency of drinking in 1990, then followed the men until 1997. Separating these two groups of non-drinkers, the researchers found that former drinkers have a higher mortality risk than non-drinkers, and was moderatedDrinkers do not really reduce the mortality rate when combined with those who have never drinkers were compared. The finding shows that JAMA, inadequate when the reference group (never drinker drinkers in relation to the former) is used, the protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption is greatly exaggerated. Therefore, moderate drinkers falsely showed a lower risk than non-drinkers than never the two mistakenly ex-drinkers and drinkers.
Alcohol destroys your sleep

ManyPeople believe that the wine "help" them to relax and sleep better if just the opposite is true, actually – it disturbs sleep. Alcohol has a calming effect, in fact, as you know, a glass of wine or two fall asleep. But consider the following disadvantages, your good night's sleep may last only three or four hours. Then, that "drink" is beginning to disturb sleep. Alcohol makes occasional or chronic insomnia worse in the long term. Because ofAlcohol is a sedative effect, many people think people with sleep disorders alcohol consumption, it will encourage sleep. However, alcohol consumed within an hour after going to bed the second half of the period seems to disturb sleep. The person may sleep during the first half of sleep in order, but awaken from sleep-dream state and a return to heavy, and eventually turning and turning. This sleep disorder often leads to fatigue and daytime sleepiness. The elderly are particularly vulnerable, because to reach themhigher blood alcohol and brain of younger people after consuming the same amount, and must be careful, especially if they take it and one or more medications regularly drink even more. Wine is often consumed in the late afternoon (eg shows "consumed Happy Hour or dinner) and many studies that may increase a moderate dose of alcohol for up to 6 hours before bedtime wakefulness during the second half of sleep.

Alcohol mayCan cause health problems in the long term, even at moderate levels

These are just some of the health effects associated with daily moderate to heavy alcohol consumption.
Or researchers found that drinking red wine can actually only moderately increase the risk of heart disease, increasing the concentration of amino acid homocysteine. This represents a huge increase in cardiovascular risk than those who abstained. Alcohol affects the stomachPossibility to associate vitamin B12 hormone called intrinsic factor. This important vitamin can not be transported efficiently in the small intestine for absorption. Many people talk about me, who drink regularly to vitamin B12 problems, and this is a result of the blood test. The lower the B12, the higher the risk of heart disease. You see, alcohol is indeed a double-edged sword, and I barely scratched the surface with vitamin and mineral deficiencies here.
or One study showed thatconsumed only one drink per day may increase the risk of breast cancer in women. Alcohol reduces the ability of the liver, estrogen clearly, and increased levels of estrogen in the body in general, which can promote breast cancer. Now tell me how many women stop at one glass per day?
or with other potential risks that regular wine consumption: interactions with other pharmaceutical drugs (many), increased incidence of accidents, liver disease other than, hypertension and stroke,digestive problems, and fertility in men and women.
Oh my poor brain to remember, after they become 40, as he felt this morning, after only a few red wines?
alcohol or large quantities and regularly affects his ability, stress management, which in turn increases the desire for more alcohol. People who abuse alcohol all kinds of health problems and accidents much more. Impaired stress response affects various body systems, including the ability toto get the immune system to fight infections and even brain cells and remember, the researchers said. Studies show that alcohol is a part of the body loses its ability to react more stressors causes. heavy drinkers in the future can not activate their stress axis thereof when they are faced with a challenge, and that can be harmful.
wine or makes you fat, contains 7 calories per gram. (Fat contains 9 calories per gram). Boys at the end of the abdomen, andWomen can end up in the BBC. (The tramp great team!)
Here are three examples of real cases to illustrate what the red wine in this respect, all cases are real, but the names have changed:
Jeff

Jeff is a 33yr old man who works as a plumber and part-time also moonlight as a student of web design. Jeff came to my clinic and complained of poor sleep and libido, and chronic fatigue. When I questioned his lifestyle, it is clear that the wine was consumed most of the evening, "I have threefour glasses of wine because I feel good and relaxes me, "I make my wine at the end, there are a lot away to my mates. "Jeff has less healthy diet and go to bed pretty regularly around the clock open 12:00 to 1:00. Jeff made me try a couple of accidents in recent years to resolve, including a bad fall from the roof of his home spouting. He admitted that he "began working after a few wines in an afternoon of Saturday, and he is still visiting aChiropractor three years later. The doctor has all the blood tests required for blood pressure, etc., to determine the cause of his fatigue. And, of course, everything is back to 100% good. The doctor never asked his profession, his diet and aspects of his lifestyle.

What I always found interesting is that if a patient has a doctor of Western medicine, with difficulty, their diet and lifestyle rarely discussed, and this is exactly where the problem is most of the time.Jeff needed someone to bring him and see where that came from his fatigue, and explain the likely causes. Jeff, I finally convinced him to stop drinking for a total of three months, to 9.30 at the bedside clock – before 10.00 clock and get up early morning to establish a good rhythm of high energy prices in the low energy and in the evening . I also told Jeff that probably were not covered, when he faced this work spewing sober. Jeff is now very happy, has great changes and realized that his life had to return to the front. Jeff now works much better as a father and husband and almost never drink at all.
Graeme

Graeme is a 57yr old lawyer who came on the recommendation of his wife. If Graeme comes home after work during the week has a large glass of red wine, followed by a second glass before a meal with some crackers and cheese and another glass with dinner that evening. Graeme is a frequent> Wine and enjoy a glass at the Golf Club after the game. On weekends there are often friends and relatives often come to visit and the wine is never far away, after all, had built a cellar when the house was made and the wine is purchased by the club board, wine. Graeme is about 40 pounds overweight, not exercising, and came under considerable pressure after a senior partner in the law firm has moved away some time ago. You can see whereThis position, Graeme blood tests revealed a high cardiovascular risk to heart health because of increased levels of homocysteine. Graeme explained that his doctor was fine with his "moderate red wine", because its consumption of cholesterol was ok, but I refused. I found out that Graeme doctor Graeme is a member of the same golf club and a group of wine tasting. In addition, Graeme has a history of gout and hypertension, and was ready to work on a wellness planbecause of his family history of heart disease. It 'was quite surprised when I said that the daily consumption of red wine and regularly help his health, and has promised to reduce significantly. Needless to say, the doctor called me a charlatan, a "doctor typiocal natural without any knowledge of medicine, science or a cure. It 's interesting, as I currently have a doctor as a patient in our practice, self-prescribed antidepressant, sleeping pill and a drinkWine every evening.

Peter

Pete is a pilot who still flies his small plane at the age of 74 years. He has almost 50 years of flight and there was not even the world. Takes care of his health, including a program of regular exercise 1 hour 7 days a week because he wants to be, is still flying at 90 daughter of Peter is a master of sport, who taught him to keep fit and flexible. I think it's very rare to see, is an old man, so beautiful figuretruly amazing and inspiring, and the beaming smile of Pete is a testament to its health. He has a (small) glass of red wine daily with dinner for medical purposes, of course, as he says! His sleep is great, and his libido is excellent in all age 70yrs. Peter diet is on par with the best I've seen and his blood pressure was 120/75, which is exceptional for his age. This is like red wine, add value to the health of a person, in small quantities regularly and lasted for a longTerm. Peter was drinking red wine, like 1970 years.

Red Wine is the only alcoholic beverage that suggest some limited use, alcohol No Other

Sorry Chardonnay fans, but given the health benefits of red wines, white wines to fade in comparison. This product is because whites are traditional skins peeled, or the mixture with mashed is removed early in the fermentation process, which is where mostprotective compounds are found. When choosing a red wine, try the full-bodied wines that are rich in chemicals positive. A high quality Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Grenache blended also fit the bill. And remember, we are talking about red wine, not here, beer, spirits and all the "mixer" Our young people are a lot of advantage seems to be inside because of the polyphenols, an antioxidant found in grape skins of red wine. Polyphenolsknown to combat harmful free radicals in the body. It appears that the polyphenols reduce cholesterol lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol while increasing "good" HDL and the production of a protein that plays an important role in the development of heart disease.

But before you go for your pantry with red wine gives some precautions to be taken. While drink about a glass of red wine per day may benefit some, drink two or moreGlasses (wine or soft drink) offset value and an increased risk of many different types of health problems as before, even cancer. So it is likely that alcohol consumption is in itself irrelevant to the beneficial effects of wine. In fact, alcohol is toxic and in fact almost all the benefits attributed to drinking wine bioflavanoids polyphenolic compounds may be associated with them.

And people with a history of alcohol abuseor any type of liver disease should not drink alcohol at all. Neither should people with diabetes and hypertension, the supply of alcohol to limit a lot.

You must also be aware that consumption of large quantities of wine or grape increased insulin and ultimately have a negative impact on health – can weight stack. If you really want the benefits of grape flavonoids, then why do not consume a small amount of whole skins (spit the seeds) and go upMost of the meat from ripe grapes, which has large real benefits, but a lot of extra fructose (sugar). A small cluster of ripe grapes a day is a great addition to any diet, and so is the red grape juice. Now we are talking about all the benefits of polyphenols, but without the harmful effects of alcohol. There is no doubt that alcohol is unable to extract much more goodness from the red grape skin, as they are available from grape juice, but the disadvantage is the effect of ethanol(Alcohol) to the intestine, brain and overall health, as mentioned above.
A small glass a day of Red is the key

If you go to drink, it makes sense to choose red wine over other alcoholic beverages and use a wine saver for the oxidation of the wine to ensure and do not go rancid. You can also buy "Wine Saver gadget so you pump air into the bottle before closing, so that the wine was very durable. But wait,Liver suffers from alcohol! Even marginal drink has weakened the ability of the liver clear toxins from the body. Remember, the pilot Peter? If there are foods that contain fat consumed Peters, not chocolate or milk products, removal, etc. the only food or beverages consumed at Peter could damage your liver is small amount of red wine consumed per night, so no problem here. Once a person several glasses of alcohol consumed daily andAlso, take acetaminophen or other drugs regularly consumed a take-away once or twice a week, eat fatty foods such as peanuts or chocolate bars regularly consumed foods rich in sugar, etc., is when you begin to detoxify the liver's ability load. It 's all about the concept of "total load".
We can check your liver function?

Standard LFT (liver function) studies are carried out effectively by the physician to identify real damage to the liver. These blood tests are of limitedValue, however, in determining your liver actually the potential for addiction, because measurement of acute liver cell damage directly, rather than the function of the liver, ie the absorption, metabolism, storage and excretion of toxic substances such as alcohol, drugs, chemical sprays, solvents, etc. Why only damage done waiting for? In addition to standard tests of liver function, there is a simple urine test available to determine how the liver, detoxify the body organ most importantly, how to deal with a canVariety of chemicals, including wine. The healer, you can fill out more.

All research I have studied appear again what we have always known how light Reed moderate wine consumption is up ok for your health. But this is precisely the point, the light of moderate consumption. When it comes to alcohol, like everything else in life, moderation is the key to absolute. Need discipline "to learn discipline," when it comes to alcohol, with more thanother foods or beverages that Wil never "legally allowed" to consume.

And 'safer drinking wine during pregnancy?

Posted by Drinking Wines | Drinking Wine Articles | Monday 28 June 2010 9:00 am

While long assumed that levels of alcohol consumption during pregnancy can harm the unborn child extremely large for a child, Recent research shows that taking small amounts of wine during pregnancy does not seem to be a harmful and could in some cases also be useful. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there, and allows pregnant women to ask the wine is safe to drink during pregnancy?

A recent British study has examinedcognitive and behavioral issues in children 3 years and interviewed their mothers, such as alcohol use during pregnancy. As expected, showed the children of those who drank a lot more problems and expires in cognitive behavior. What was surprising was that those mothers who consume small amounts of wine while pregnant children should be better than those who abstained as a whole.

For the purposes of the study, a small amount, or Light drinking was classed as Oz is not more than two small glasses (wine or 10 ounces of beer weak fourth) on one occasion, and no more than twice a week occur. This study showed no difference in effect among women who drank something that small amounts regularly, and those who drank once or twice during pregnancy.

Since this study is relatively new, large political bodies to Britain, and those yet to recommend the U.S.> Do not drink wine during the pregnancy, only the security side. In light of new information, however, one important body of the United Kingdom proposed that is good enough for women to drink slightly during the second and third quarters, but in favor of complete abstinence during the first.

With this information, it seems that women who want to drink during pregnancy, while a small amount of wine, you can do this without thinking of her unborn child can organize damage. Since health benefitsDrinking a moderate amount of red wine are well documented, however, some women do not want to abandon during pregnancy. Of course, if you have doubts, it is probably better to abstain altogether.

If in doubt, please ask your doctor, the wine is safe? Probably they will have their opinion on the matter, and would like to share with you their reasons. A good mayor / GYN on the latest research and stay current can be appliedto your situation. How many other things as well, the issue of drinking wine during pregnancy is the key seems to be solved with the idea that moderation. If in doubt, all about your ability to concentrate on two or fewer small glass edge, over two times a week, you may consider abstention as a whole. And 'this in no way a problem, please, do not talk to your doctor.

Drinking wine while pregnant is not necessarily a bad thing, then ifCan moderation, you can probably do it safely.
